The two I've seen pictures of on-line don't appear to have chin clefts. But I'm still curious about the genetics. I couldn't say anything their philtrums (philtra?). They don't seem to be particularly prominent.
But 6 daughters? And all those conflicts with Elijah Muhammad? Where did Malcolm find the time to get a rather dumpy and unprepossessing White high school girl on the other side of the country pregnant with his boy child?

You’re wasting your time asking me, I can’t see any evidence that she was the mother. As for MX, here are some clues to his movements at the time:

This week’s CSEAS lecture: Laura Iandola on Malcolm X and Sukarno’s Indonesia
History graduate student Laura Iandola will present “Malcolm X, Sukarno’s Indonesia, and the Politics of Bandung” at this week’s center lecture from noon to 12:50 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25, in Room 110 in the Campus Life Building. Sukarno, Indonesia’s first president, and Malcolm X, the African-American Muslim leader, met in New York in 1956. Their close connection continued until 1965, when Malcolm X was assassinated by three members of the Nation of Islam two weeks before he was slated to speak at the Asian-African Islamic Conference in Jakarta. Iandola explores their little-known relationship to illuminate their ideological affinities as well as the Cold War politics of the Third World at the time. Bring your lunch and feed your mind.
